Great site after a long haul from American Point. Nice sandy landing. The site is tucked around the corner from the point, with a surprising nice breeze from the west despite how tucked in it is. Tons of nice shade! Almost not bugs, which was shocking for how wet the year has been. Excellent options for hanging. There is a fabulous large tent pad on top of the hill above the very nice kitchen. Latrine is at the top of the hill (a little precarious in the dark) and requires care if you have balance issues like me. Narrows on the North side of the point offered great fishing for nice bass for dinner.

We have been eyeing this site for a few years, and finally had the privilege to stay here for a couple nights. The landing is very easy, if not ideal for swimming (too gravelly). There was better swimming just outside the bay to the north, a short path from the main site, off some rocks. The main camp site area was enclosed without a great view, but somehow the breeze made it through the trees, so there were few bugs. Great views could be had with short walks up to the "bedroom level," or out on the rocks to the north. The fire grate is nicely elevated. The "upstairs" tent pads were great, and the main site area had plenty of trees for hammocks and clotheslines. We'll definitely stay here again!

We sheltered here with a group of boyscouts from Moose Lake due to a quick moving thunderstorm. The scouts had three tents up - we put up a tarp on the edge of the site - but it would not have been a good area for a tent. There was a good landing and shallow cove to pull into. Well sheltered by a mix of small and large trees. Fairly nice camp kitchen area.

Very nice open site. Lots of tent pads and plenty of room to hang a tarp. Good bear bag trees as well. Easy gravel beach landing and plenty of canoe storage. Decent walk into the water for swimming. Good view to the southwest.

Nice secluded site with duff floor and tons of moss. Quite rocky though so watch your footing. Good hammock options. Pollen was stacked up in gobs at the landing, so we had to get water on the right side of camp. Due to seclusion the site was a bit buggy in the evening, but overall we enjoyed it!

Have stayed here a couple of times and stopped for lunch a couple others. Nice landing/docking area. Site is away from the water a bit. Nicely shaded with good seating and an OK kitchen. Close to neighboring site to the SE. Not a lot of open space. A west wind can really whip thru here. Be mindful of leaving tarp unattended during windy periods.

Very nice site. Good landing. Nice firegrate area that even has a 2 foot high flat rock table. Well sheltered & secluded. Even the latrine has a great view of the back bay from 30 feet up.

Really liked the site. Nice tent pads up the hill. Also a very nice view of the sunset over Canada from the hill near the site.
